In most cases, you can cancel within 14 days. If you agree the service will start within this time you may be charged for what you’ve used. I use a wooden rolling pin. I use it on my quads when they are tight and by putting my foot up on a stool I can roll out my calves. Excellent! I also roll a tennis ball under my foot to relieve tightness from plantar faciitis. I keep it on the floor next to my computer station so I remember to routinely use it.” One caveat is that the Thera Cane does display a flex under heavy pressure, suggesting it may not withstand excessive force. This limits its robustness, making it better suited for gentler, rather than rigorous, massage sessions. Often a lot of the time, I teach people how to treat themselves using their hands, which are our most sensitive tool. But if you have sore hands or arthritis, you may actually find that you flare your hands whilst treating triggers elsewhere. The second tool is called the Original Knobble Massage tool. It’s a very simple elegant tool. Again, it just fits easily into your hand.

What you’re doing is deactivating the trigger. You breathe, relax, breathe again and then you’ll find after 15-20 seconds I can start to push a bit harder.We understand that individual needs can vary significantly, so here are some further recommendations based on different requirements:

Best for Portability: The Thera Cane MAX offers all the robust design and features of the original Thera Cane but with added portability. Its unique assembly and disassembly mechanism, which involves unscrewing one of the knobs to split the cane in two, makes it an excellent travel companion without compromising on strength and sturdiness. Each end of the self-massager has a different sized hook so you can ergonomically reach any angle from any position If bruising or residual pain occurs, discontinue use until symptoms subside and reduce pressure when next applied There’s a lot of other suggestions in the comments below, and I’ve added a summary list of what you’ve all recommended.

Relaxing massage products

This product provides multiple choices for massage point knobs: a medium silicone knob and a heavy fibre knob. This customizable approach allows users to select the massage knob that suits them best, facilitating precise control over the pressure and pinpointing muscle nodes effectively. Tryk kan i væsentlig grad reducere spænding og smerter i det bløde væv og øge graden af bevægelighed og den generelle funktionalitet.

Using slowly increasing pressure, you can keep going until you push as hard as you like, without causing pain. However, it’s worth noting that the small size may not provide as much leverage or robustness as larger alternatives. Also, its simplicity means it comes with fewer knobs, which might reduce its versatility in massaging various body areas. In assessing quality, all relevant circumstances will be considered, including price, description, and advertising that we commission. This makes it much sturdier than most products in this category. Most products, such as the Theracane, are made out of plastic and tend to bend when pressed against the body, limiting the force that can be applied. At the end of the day, you do not want to hurt your hands while trying to treat your trigger points, and there’s no reason you need to.

The strap is a nice bit of attention to detail: helpful for anyone, but for a professional therapist, that strap is significant: it means the tool can constantly be lifted and repositioned with little or no grip effort. You don’t have to move it to hang onto it, which is a terrific addition.

And yet I usually prefer to lie on massage balls, or pinch them between my body and the wall, where I can achieve much stronger pressures, and with a variety of ball sizes, than I ever could by pressing the Orbit into my flesh. And I definitely prefer foam textures to the hard plastic of the Orbit’s ball. These are not deal-breakers — it is still a nice, useful tool — but they do keep it from being my favourite.

Encouraging Independence

The Orbit Massager is a complex tool — a much more invented tool than the others so far, which are really “just” useful plastic shapes. The Orbit is mechanical: a massage ball mounted like a ball-bearing inside a large palm-shaped near-hemisphere of a handle with (crucially) an elastic strap. So it’s basically a ball with a handle, which means that you can continuously roll, and get a continuous broad point of compression with rolling instead of lubrication, with or without fabric in the way. That’s ingenius and useful, with many possible applications. The beauty of this myofascial release tool is that because it rolls, you can find trigger points quite easily. You can roll around quite fast keeping a lot of pressure.
